Friday, Sept. 11, we spent most of the day bringing supplies and helping preparing food for the Branch Family Home Evening to say Thank You to President St. John who was just released. Rex played games with the children including ring toss and Pussy Wants a Corner. There was also volleyball, basketball, and rugby for everyone in conjunction with the Youth activity. We love to watch the parents join in. Then we had a Family Home Evening  to show how it is done. We had a song, prayer, Rex gave the lesson, and President St. John was presented with a new mat to say Thanks. Then another song and prayer followed by more games, activities, and a wonderful meal. There were over 150 in attendance. We loved it.

My Kelly Kumar that I help with keyboarding. 

Most people here eat with their fingers, but we use forks.

Preparing for the meal, Sister Marica has chopped cabbage and grated ginger and is now peeling garlic. These women are strong and work tirelessly.

Sister Reo cut all these carrots in perfect long fine strips for the Chicken Chop Suey.  She is as quick as a machine.

The casava was cooked outside over a fire. Sister Reo, Joana, and Sister Naidu. will put it in this box to serve

This sweetheart was a big help. These ladies learn young to serve and work hard.
